yeah i was just refering to the pic of the STi in the evo viii brochure, they have some sort of comparison page in it about the evo and sti, i like the wrx's don't get me wrong, but that scoop just looks like some cheap aftermarket tack on from a jc whitney or jegs catalog imo

 

Need..........japanese........translator!!!!!!!!!

 

Actually, it IS a hood scoop--because he's talking about the Sti, not the Evo. I would agree that the scoop on the Sti is a little big. Maybe you could retrofit the earlier smaller scoop onto the Sti and put a front mount intercooler on there. That would make it look much better. Maybe even turn the scoop around and make it a vent.

BTW, on the hp and torque graph, what is the dotted grey line? Is that for an inconnel turbo and the blue is for the titanium? That's my best guess. Anyone who can read Japanese know?

 

The dotted line is the VII and the solid line is the VIII.

As for translating it, I believe Japan Vehicles already did the important pieces.

 

ditto!

 

I'd bet out radio doesn't look like that. We always get the crappy version I wonder if we could buy the 2din so we could get a cool radio.

So is offering purple instead of blue?

 

i aint gay nor a barney fan

so no thax to the purple

but then it doesn't look that bad

 

Those pics are all photochopped, so who knows how those colors will actually look in person.

 

I'm confused? So we are getting blue and jdm gets purple? That can't be the official catalog. Black and white for most pics Evo VII catalog was all colored.

 

Form the described "Blue by You" my dealer told me I was getting, it is no where near that purpleish thing

 

What does 1410 kg work out to in pounds? I'm too lazy to work it out right now.

In regards to the drivetrain, according to 15.jpg, looks like we are getting the same drivetrain as the RS model with the 1.5WAY LSD. This is the preferred drivetrain for competition use, so for those of you whining that we are not getting in our USDM version what makes an Evo an Evo, because of the drivetrain, you are wrong. Interestingly as well is the option for AYC on the RS model, which means, if Mitsubishi offers this in the U.S. in the future, we can upgrade.

Bottom line, we are getting a reinforced for crash tests J-spec Evo VIII GSR, with the RS drivetrain. Mitsubishi is doing a great job on the Evo they are bringing us.

 

1 kg = 2.2 lbs

 

to evo dan

 

I would like to add to that ...GTA motor....same specific output touque figures at same revs as 7 GTA.....7 gearbox from GSR Ratios confirmed by previous post....and as you say RS driveline....and guess what the RS had front viscous LSD.....as far as translating japwaneese there is a program on the web called 'Bablefish" that will translate....a computer wizz out there will be able to figure out how to use it.....

 

that will only translate text based page these are scanned pic
